Ernest Benn

1930.  A book in Very Good condition without Dust-Jacket.  The pages are bright and well bound, with foxing to the page edges.  There is a split between the book and back cover, but it is still fully attached.  The four maps are complete and in good order.  The covers are showing a little shelf wear, with fading to the spine.  Illustrated with the author’s own black & white photographs and maps by D L Browne.  The book itself is a very good copy, but included is a hand written greetings card.  The card is printed “To bring you every good wish for 1929.” with the hand written inscription “and a happy Xmas 1928. Love from Violet & Duncan”.  The inscription continues: “Do come visit us soon in our new home – we have nearly settled in now!.  You must come and give your blessing.”  Printed is “From Captain & Mrs Duncan McCallum, 7 Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, SW3.”  On the opposite page there is a picture of a car driving through a rocky terrain which has been stuck down with the printed description: “A rocky road in the Taurus Mountains” followed by a further inscription: “Peking to London – by car”.  This was obviously sent to close friends and forms a fascinating addition to this first edition book.
